BRITISH NOTE TO ITALY
REITERATES FIRM STAND
FRENCH REPLY PROVES UNCOMPROMISING
London, Nov. 22.
The British reply to the Italian protest against the sanctions operations by the League of Nations powers had been despatched to Rome. It speaks of the con- stant anxiety at Geneva that the League's duties should be carried out in a spirit of impartiality. Britain main- tains to have conceded the utmost possible weight to the legitimate interests of Italy and therefore feels that no useful purpose would be served by reopening the dis- cussion of the questions raised in the Italian note.
Strong as were the feelings of friendship towards Italy, the Government of the United Kingdom felt bound to assent to the League's decisions and accept the inevitable consequences.
